Considering this is located inside the Dubai mall, you can actually roam around and then spend a lot of time in the aquarium, I think the best part about visiting with Headout was the fact that you could upgrade your experience to a penguin encounter or even a glass boat tour at the venue, and it is definitely a very exciting experience!

Two great attractions in one day. Both attractions were very enjoyable and well worth visiting. The Dubai Aquarium is impressive, especially the huge tank and the variety of marine life. Walking through the tunnel gives fantastic views and is a great experience for both adults and children. The Green Planet was a pleasant surprise. The indoor rainforest is beautifully designed, with many interesting animals, birds and plants. It feels like stepping into a completely different environment in the middle of Dubai. The booking process through Headout was simple and convenient, and everything worked smoothly on the day of the visit. A great combination for anyone looking for something different from the usual Dubai attractions.

What made my visit special was how easy and convenient Headout made the entire experience. The booking process was quick, the tickets were delivered instantly, and all the information I needed was clearly provided. This allowed me to enjoy my visit to the Dubai Aquarium & Underwater Zoo without any hassle. The seamless experience from booking to entry made the outing smooth, enjoyable, and stress-free.

Take a break from your shopping spree at the Dubai Mall and head to level 0 for an aquatic journey you'll never forget: at the glorious Dubai Underwater Zoo!

Walk under the glass tunnel surrounded by sharks and then head to the Underwater Zoo housing incredible aquatic creatures like otters, piranhas, seahorses, and more.

Visit the Penguin Cove to see waddling Gentoo penguins. Or upgrade your ticket to see colorful fishes meandering on your glass-bottomed boat ride.

Upgrade to the Ultimate Experience and get a 30% discount on animal encounter, a glass-bottom boat tour, and more.

Very easy access to both Aquarium and Underwater zoo. Have never seen anything like the way the display drew us in to search for more animals, fish, crocodile, penguins and I must say the theme set a natural environment that your body felt as you explored. Would highly recommend

What a great day at the Dubai Mall, loved going up the Burj Khalifa finally after almost 4 years in UAE and it did not disappoint!! The Duabi Aquarium was also such a treat and particularly loved the incredible underwater tunnel experience.

A walk through the Dubai Aquarium & Underwater Zoo

Want a perfect outing for your kids? Look no further than the Dubai Aquarium and Underwater Zoo, offering a glimpse of marine creatures found across the globe. Step into the 48-meter-long aquarium tunnel where you'll be surrounded by marine species from the open ocean, with the possibility of witnessing divers feeding sharks and rays, adding an extra thrill to the adventure.

Located on level two above the aquarium tank, the underwater zoo allows you to discover the amazing range of aquatic animals through 40 different display tanks. You can explore three distinct zones: the Rocky Shore, where resilient aquatic life adapted to harsh coastal environments thrive; the Rainforest, teeming with vibrant freshwater animals such as playful otters and formidable piranhas; and the Living Ocean, offering a glimpse into the mysteries of the deep sea with creatures like Sea Dragons and Sea Jellies.

Unforgettable animal encounters

Further upgrade your ticket for a glass-bottom boat ride, perfect for families. Notice the schools of colorful fish that glide under your feet. You can even opt to visit the Penguin Cove to admire the cute Gentoo penguins. This group activity is a fun way to learn about and appreciate the marine life found at Dubai Aquarium. Complete your visit with a guided tour that educates visitors about the different marine species and their environment, feeding, and breeding habitats.
